Bit O'Honey Melon

Hello,
Has anyone grown Bit O'Honey melon or know of a seed source? I've read about them and know that they are quite rare but I thought I'd still put the question out there. I am a first time melon grower and want to save the seeds of whatever heirloom I grow. I'm considering a few options right now. I only have room for one variety.
Thanks for any leads!
Take care,
Chris |

| Hello, I haven't grown that variety myself. But I thought I would mention when collecting seeds, do not grow more than one variety or they will cross pollinate. The seeds you plant next season could possibly be a mix and not the true form. |

| I tried and tried last year to find them. Could not find them anywhere. I would hate to tell you to give up, but that's what I had to do. (I was told Bit-O-Honey is extinct). |

| Hey chocochris;SSE 06 Yearbook has this Var.but it is listed by one person who also has it listed as L.Q. and only listed members are allowed to order this.I am not a listed member,as yet. |

| Yes, I learned about Bit O'Honey through the SSE '06 yearbook as well as Amy Goldman's book. This is my first year in SSE and I am not a listed member yet either. I hope to list next year, however. I have a small garden and limited space for one variety of melon. Thanks for your feedback,

| Bit O'Honey is listed in the 2006 Yearbook as M.R not L.Q. |
